India ( 20 yr old girl " Gang raped by 12 " ordered by Tribal Council ) Forbidden love

KOLKATA, India: A 20-year-old Indian woman said she was gang-raped on the orders of a village council because she fell in love with a man from a different ethnic group, police said Thursday.
Twelve suspects and the head of the council have been arrested for the Monday night attack, police said. The woman told police that she lost count of how many men raped her. She was hospitalized Thursday in serious condition.


Television footage showed the woman, her face covered by scarves, being led into a hospital with an IV tube in her arm.
TV news reports said the woman is a member of an ethnic tribal group and the man is a Muslim from a neighboring village. The man visited the woman’s village, Subalpur, on Monday to propose marriage, but was caught by other villagers, and the man and the woman were tied to a tree while the village council decided their fate, the reports said.
Police official C. Sudhakar said the village council ordered the man and woman to each pay a fine of 25,000 rupees ($400). The man’s relatives were able to pay, but when the woman’s family said they were too poor, the council ordered the gang-rape, police said.

DUBAI ( Ethiopia " Sweeps " Marathon 18 yr old wins )

DUBAI: For the third year in a row, a debutant won the Standard Chartered Dubai Marathon as teenager Tsegaye Mekonnen Asefa led an Ethiopian whitewash in the emirate on Friday.
The 18 year-old caused a major surprise, running 2 hours, 04 minutes and 32 seconds in his first marathon, to break the unofficial world junior record by 95 seconds and record the second fastest time ever seen in the Dubai Marathon.



The second and third placed athletes also achieved world-class times of sub 2:06 with fellow Ethiopians Markos Geneti and Girmay Birhanu finishing in 2:05:13 and 2:05:49 respectively.
As expected the women’s race was also dominated by Ethiopians, who took the first nine places. Surprisingly Mula Seboka beat favorites Meselech Melkamu and Meseret Hailu to romp home in 2:25:01 and collect the $200,000 first prize. Melkamu followed in second place with 2:25:23, Firehiwot Dado was third in 2:25:53 with Hailu fourth in 2:26:20.
“The pace was changing a lot during the first half and I think with an even pace I could have run faster,” said Tsegaye Mekonnen. “But of course I’m very happy and proud of my performance. I had no idea about the World Junior Record so this is a bonus for me.”
The men’s race began very fast with split times that were well inside the world record of 2:03:23 established by Kenya’s Wilson Kipsang in Berlin in 2013. A group of around 20 athletes passed 10km in 29:14 and then reached the half way mark in 61:37.
However at that stage the pace had already dropped to around 2m, 58 secs to 3m per kilometers. This was not fast enough for Kipsang’s world record, which was soon out of reach.
However, with a new unofficial World Junior Record (the IAAF does not not officially list junior records for the marathon) and the second best time for the event in fifteen years, the men’s race once again underlined the pace of what is one of the fastest courses in world marathon running.
For Seboka, who finished 11th in Dubai two years ago and subsequently outside of the money, the richest prize available in international marathon running will make a huge difference.
“I will partly use this to support my parents and some poor people back home,” said the diminutive Ethiopian. “I will have to speak to my husband about what we do with the other part of it.”
In the 10km Road Race, victory in the men’s division went to John Ndugu of Kenya (28 min, 56 secs) with Feysa Dejene Amosha of Ethiopia in second (28 min, 58 secs) and Ihya Ben-Youssef of Morocco in third (29 min, 32 secs). The women’s race saw victory go to Gladys Jemaiyo (33m:40 secs) of Kenya as her compatriot Sheila Jeptoo Rono (35 min, 03 secs) and Selam Wale Mihret of Ethiopia (35 min, 44 secs) claimed second and third respectively.

Bay AREA ( 2-month-old Chihuahua found " Painted pink " and with a broken leg ) scum bags

A 2-month-old Chihuahua with dyed pink fur nicknamed "Candy" was found with a fractured bone in the street  by a Good Samaritan in East Palo Alto, and now, the Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA is trying to find a nice quiet, home for her.

Spokesman Scott Delucchi said X-rays showed the pup has a hairline fracture of the right rear tibia, an injury she likely got from jumping off a bed or couch or from someone stepping on her.  He also said that staff bathed the dog and tried to get her pink dye off, to no avail. He said no one can figure out what kind of chemicals were used. She was found Jan. 13.

"It's not unusual to dye a dog," Delucchi said, citing the plethora of X-treme grooming sites out there and that fact that dying a pet typically shows some level of care and attachment to a pet. "But this is pretty wierd."

Delucchi can't figure out if the dog is missing, or abandoned. But either way, he'd love for Candy to find a nice quiet home to live in.

The shelter is considering potential adopters at this time and interested foster parents or adopters should call (650) 340-7022, ext. 382.  Owners of missing pets should visit the the intake facility at 12 Airport Blvd., San Mateo, to look at the stray animals on site and also file a Lost Animal report.

Egypt ( 5 police officers killed at a "check point " )

CAIRO: Masked gunmen riding on motorcycles opened fire at a police checkpoint in central Egypt early on Thursday, killing five policemen and wounding two, the Interior Ministry said.
No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack but Egypt has seen a sharp rise in drive-by shootings and attacks targeting police and the military in the aftermath of the popularly-backed coup last July in which the army ousted Islamist President Muhammad Mursi.


The most prominent attack was a failed assassination attempt on the interior minister in Cairo in September and the December suicide car bombing that targeted a security headquarters in the Nile Delta city of Mansoura, leaving nearly 16 dead, most of them policemen.
In Thursday’s attack, assailants on two motorcycles and armed with automatic weapons opened fire on the police checkpoint in the el-Wassta district in the province of Bani Suief, south of the Egyptian capital, Cairo, according to a statement from the ministry.
The gunmen then fled the scene, said two security officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.
The attack came days before Egyptians mark the third anniversary of the Jan. 25 uprising that toppled longtime authoritarian President Hosni Mubarak.
Egypt has experienced bouts of political violence since Mubarak’s 2011 ouster but attacks targeting police and the military increased after the coup that ousted Mursi.
The military-backed government has blamed the Muslim Brotherhood group, from which Mursi hails, for the attacks, and designated it as a terrorist organization. The group has denied the accusations as baseless.
An Al-Qaeda-inspired group called Ansar Beit Al-Maqdis, or the Champions of Jerusalem, has claimed responsibility for most of the recent attacks, saying they aimed to avenge the killings of Mursi’s supporters in the months-long heavy security crackdown on protesters demanding his reinstatement and denouncing the coup.
Islamists have announced plans for escalating the protests in the coming days while Egypt’s Interior Minister Mohammed Ibrahim has vowed to confront any act of violence with lethal force.
